In the morning, the Parenting Centre will be hosting a Teddy Bear picnic, which we are invited to attend. A letter went home today for all morning students, but afternoon students are welcome to attend as well. It's a short celebration for literacy week and will take place at 10:45 am. Pyjamas are optional, but bring your favourite stuffed animal along.
In the afternoon, the school will host a performance. All afternoon kindergartens will automatically attend, but morning parents are welcome to come and watch with their students as well. The performance by Red Sky theatre troupe is called Great Mountain and is a retelling of a traditional North Plains aboriginal story. It begins shortly after 1pm.
It's still all about volcanoes this week.
We've watched this video from National Geographic kids, which you may wish to watch with your child again at home:

James' dad sent in some awesome photos from his trip to Mt. Vesuvius and we've been reading lots of fiction and non-fiction about volcanoes as well. James' favourite is When the Giant Stirred because he's fascinated by the before and after images of the volcanic island.
